Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for analyzing reaction mixtures, and relates more particularly, to a method and apparatus for screening combinatorial libraries.
- Combinatorial chemistry refers generally to methods for rapidly creating collections of compounds having diverse structures and to methods for rapidly testing or screening chemical libraries to discover or optimize compounds or materials exhibiting desired properties.
- Combinatorial chemistry is an effective research strategy for discovering useful materials.
- pharmaceutical scientists have successfully used such techniques to dramatically increase the speed of drug discovery.
- Material scientists have employed combinatorial methods to develop novel high temperature superconductors, magnetoresistive materials, and phosphors. More recently, scientists have applied combinatorial methods to develop catalysts. See, for example, co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/327,513 “The Combinatorial Synthesis of Novel Materials” (published as WO 96/11878) and co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/898,715 “Combinatorial Synthesis and Analysis of Organometallic Compounds and Catalysts” (published as WO 98/03521), which are both herein incorporated by reference.
- Combinatorial libraries may consist of elements or compounds, e.g., individual library members, that are synthesized or mixed in separate vessels, or arrayed on planar solid supports (wafers) frequently using automated dispensing instruments. Each vessel or wafer array position is provided with a starting reactant, which is treated with different reactants. The treating step can be repeated many times with different sets of reagents resulting in a diverse combinatorial library.
- screening library members for catalytic activity presents unique problems. For example, screening methods developed for solid phase catalysts are often unsuitable for use with solution phase catalysts. Furthermore, many screening methods developed for solution-phase catalysts, which rely on quantifying the amount of a desired product formed by contacting reactants with the catalysts, require time consuming separations, because the reactants and catalysts may interfere with detection of the desired product.
- the present invention is directed to overcoming, or at least minimizing, one or more of the problems set forth above.
- the present invention helps solve many of the problems associated with screening combinatorial libraries. Indeed, the present invention provides methods and devices for parallel or rapid serial screening of libraries made through parallel synthesis. Furthermore, the inventive methods are flexible techniques that can be used to screen both solid phase and solution phase catalysts, and they do not require elaborate procedures for separating reactants, products, and catalysts prior to screening. Although the present invention is especially well suited for screening combinatorial libraries, the inventive method and apparatus can be used to analyze a broad range of chemical transformations.
- a method of analyzing reaction mixtures comprises the steps of contacting a fluid sample from one of the reaction mixtures with a sorbent, trapping at least one component of the fluid sample on the sorbent, and detecting the at least one component of the fluid sample trapped on the sorbent.
- the contacting step, the trapping step, and the detecting step are carried out at least once for each of the reaction mixtures.
- a method of screening a group of catalysts comprises the steps of combining each of the catalysts with at least one reactant so as to form a plurality of reaction mixtures.
- the method further comprises contacting a fluid sample from one of the reaction mixtures with a sorbent, trapping at least one component of the fluid sample on the sorbent, and detecting the at least one component of the fluid sample on the sorbent.
- the contacting step, the trapping step, and the detecting step are carried out at least once for each of the reaction mixtures.
- an apparatus for analyzing reaction mixtures comprises a reaction block having wells formed along an upper surface, and a sorbent layer disposed above the upper surface of the reaction block such that the wells and the sorbent layer define vessels for containing the reaction mixtures.
- the sorbent layer is adapted to trap at least one fluid component of the reaction mixtures.
- an apparatus for analyzing reaction mixtures comprising vessels for containing each of the reaction mixtures, and discrete sorbent traps that are in fluid communication with the vessels.
- the sorbent traps are adapted to trap at least one fluid component of the reaction mixtures.
- an apparatus for screening reaction mixtures in which at least one constituent of the reaction mixtures is contained in depressions located along a top surface of a planar substrate.
- the apparatus comprises a heating block that is adapted to support the planar substrate and to provide thermal contact with a bottom surface of the planar substrate.
- the apparatus includes a gas permeable sorbent layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, in which the lower surface of the sorbent layer is disposed above the top surface of the planar substrate.
- the sorbent layer is adapted to trap at least one vapor phase component of the reaction mixtures.
- the apparatus further comprise a cover having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface of the reactor cover disposed above the upper surface of the sorbent layer. Passageways are formed in the cover that extend from the lower to the upper surfaces of the cover and provide flow paths for vapor phase components of the reaction mixtures from the upper surface of the cover to the at least one constituent of the reactive mixture.

- the present invention provides a method and apparatus for rapidly analyzing reactions. Although one may use the invention to examine a broad range of gas and liquid-phase reactions, it is especially useful for screening combinatorial libraries. As described below, an important application includes distinguishing library members based on their ability to catalyze a particular reaction.
- FIG. 1 illustrates general features of the method 10 for analyzing reaction mixtures 12 .
- the method comprises the steps of contacting 14 a fluid sample from one of the reaction mixtures 12 with a sorbent, followed by trapping 16 at least one component of the fluid sample on the sorbent, and detecting 18 the trapped component or components.
- the fluid sample can be a liquid or a gas or a mixture of a gas and a liquid.
- Each of the reaction mixtures 12 can include, but is not limited to reactants, products, solvents, catalysts and activators.
- the trapped component is a reaction product, but it can be any fluid component of the reaction mixture, including a reactant.
- the contacting 14 step or the detecting 18 step or both can be carried out for two or more of the reaction mixtures 12 simultaneously (that is, in parallel). Normally, fluid samples from each of the reaction mixtures 12 are in contact with the sorbents for the same amount time.
- Sorbent contacting 14 can occur through many methods. For example, after loading reaction mixtures 12 in vessels, individual sorbent traps can be placed in the headspace of each of the vessels, so that during reaction the vapor phase of each of the reaction mixtures contacts the sorbent. Alternatively, the sorbent traps may be located outside of the vessels, but in fluid communication with the headspace of the vessels via conduits. In either case, if the reaction mixtures comprise a liquid phase and a vapor phase, the fraction of the component of interest in the vapor phase is generally different than the fraction of the same component in the liquid phase.
- the sorbent may consist of a thin layer of sorbent.
- the reaction mixtures 12 can be placed in vessels formed in a surface of a reaction block. One may then place the layer of sorbent on the surface of the reaction block so that vapor from each of the reaction mixtures contacts discrete areas of the sorbent layer during or following reaction.
- the sorbent layer may be disposed on a solid substrate, e.g., thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate, and may be discontinuous to help prevent component migration from one of the discrete contacting areas to another.
- the solid substrate can be gas permeable, allowing vapor from each of the reaction mixtures to pass through the sorbent layer. The gas permeable substrate is useful when analyzing gas-phase reactions—one may charge (pressurize) each of the vessels with one or more gaseous reactants, and then vent the mixture through the sorbent layer following reaction, trapping the desired component.
- fluid samples are liquids
- a pipette or similar device can be used to withdraw a predetermined amount of fluid sample from a reaction mixture, and to apply the fluid sample on the sorbent.
- a multiple-tipped pipette which is used to deliver liquid reagents to standard 96-well microtiter plates, can be used to transfer fluid samples, either manually or automatically, from multiple reaction mixtures simultaneously. Because the volume of each fluid sample is small—a few microliters, say—fluid samples from numerous reaction mixtures can be applied to discrete locations on a sorbent layer, similar to “spotting” on TLC plates.
- sorbent depends on the nature of the trapped component, including the component's size, polarity, charge, solubility in the fluid sample, and chemical structure.
- Useful sorbents generally include finely divided or microporous adsorbents used in solid phase extraction (SPE), liquid chromatography (adsorption and ionic exchange chromatography), and TLC. These materials include, but are not limited to, silica—with or without a bonded phase—activated alumina, magnesium silicate, graphitized carbon, dextran, agarose, cellulose, methacrylate, polystyrene, and divinylbenzene-polystyrene copolymer.
- Typical groups that comprise the silica bonded phase include butyldimethyl, octyl, octadecyl, cyanopropyl, diol, aminopropyl, phenyl, and phenyl polysiloxane.
- Other suitable sorbents include affinity chromatography media, which comprise a support matrix—cross-linked agarose, cellulose, or modified methacrylate, for instance—and ligands linked to the matrix. The ligands exhibit specific and reversible binding affinity for the trapped component. In some cases, spacer arms link small ligands to the matrix to improve bonding with the trapped component.
- Trapping 16 can occur through physical adsorption, chemisorption, absorption, or chemical bonding.
- the trapping mechanism depends on the chemical structure of the sorbent and the component, and can strongly influence the detecting 18 step.
- certain detection techniques such as gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy, and liquid chromatography, require the release of the component from the sorbent.
- detection techniques would preclude the use of a sorbent that, for example, irreversibly bonds to the component.
- choosing a sorbent that is highly selective for the component can improve the accuracy of the detecting 18 step by reducing interference from other constituents of the fluid sample.
- the detecting 18 step may be quantitative, yielding an absolute measure of the amount of the trapped component. By repeating the contacting 14 step, the trapping 16 step, and the detecting 18 step during the course of reaction, one may determine rates of reaction from changes in the amount of the trapped component with time. Instead of quantitative data, the detecting 18 step may provide qualitative data, which one can use to rank reaction mixtures 12 .
- the component or components are detected while trapped on the sorbent.
- the trapped component is detected by absorption spectroscopy, which involves measuring the absorption of radiant energy by the trapped component. Absorption can occur throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from the gamma region (nuclear resonance absorption) to the radio region (nuclear magnetic resonance), though generally absorption spectroscopy is performed in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Through appropriate calibration, the absorption spectrum can be used to quantify the amount of the component trapped on the sorbent.
- the sorbent is exposed to one or more indicator reagents to obtain a characteristic change in appearance of the sorbent resulting from an interaction or reaction of the indicator reagent with the trapped sorbent.
- Changes in appearance of the sorbent include changes in color that are visible to the eye or changes in fluoresence when the sorbent is exposed to ultraviolet light.
- Suitable indicator reagents include those used to visualize TLC spots.
- Component Class Indicator Reagent Acetylene Dicobalt octacarbonyl Acid, organic Bromocresol green Bromocresol green-bromophenol blue-potassium permanganate Bromocresol purple Glucose-Aniline Acid, organic aromatic Hydrogen Peroxide Alcohols, higher, phenols Vanillin-sulphuric acid Aldehydes, Ketones o-Diansidine 4-Amino-5-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol biphenyl-2-amine 2,4-Dinitrophenyhydrazine Malachite green Phosphomolybdic acid Amides Chlorine-pyrazolinone-cyanide Hydroxylamine-ferric chloride Amines, aliphatic Nitroprusside(sodium)-acetaldehyde Nitroprusside(sodium)-ferricyanide 1-Naphthal
- a visual comparison of stained sorbents is often sufficient to rank reaction mixtures.
- indicator reagents along with devices for measuring color intensity—a charged couple device (CCD) camera or a spectrum analyzer, for example—can provide accurate quantitative as well as precise qualitative information about the reaction mixtures 12 .
- CCD camera for instance, can distinguish between sorbent stains that appear similar to the unaided eye.
- the CCD camera can also yield an absolute measure of the amount of the trapped component on the sorbent.
- One can use the quantitative data to calculate conversion, rates of reaction, catalyst selectivity, and the like.
- gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and mass spectroscopy can be used in the detecting 18 step, but require removal of the trapped component from the sorbent (absorption spectroscopy, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, can also be used to detect the component after removal from the sorbent).
- the method for removing the trapped component depends on the nature of the trapping mechanism, but typically includes heating the sorbent (thermal desorption) or washing the sorbent with a solvent, or a combination of thermal desorption and solvent washing.
- the solvent can be a gas or a liquid, and should exhibit a greater affinity for the trapped component than the sorbent at the removal temperature.
- the disclosed method can be used to study a broad range of gas and liquid-phase reactions, it is especially useful for screening catalyst libraries.
- the term “catalyst” is used to mean any substance that enhances the rate of reaction. Catalyst is interchangeably to refer to metal complexes or pre-catalysts before activation, and to active catalyst species themselves.
- the catalyst may not be an isolated complex, but instead may be a mixture of a ligand with a metal. In such cases, the ligand may be obtained from a ligand library, and later mixed with a metal or metal precursor to cause catalysis.
- library members can be ligands, which are not catalysts themselves, but must be at least mixed with a metal or metal precursor; library members can also be metal-ligand complexes, mixtures of ligands and metals or metal precursors, and the like.
- Catalysts or library members may also be heterogeneous catalysts, which may include, but are not limited to metals, metal oxides, mixed metal oxides, metal sulfides, metal nitrides, metal halides, metal carbides and combinations thereof.
- the disclosed method of FIG. 1 can be readily applied to screening catalyst libraries made by parallel synthesis.
- Each library member is combined with one or more reactants to form the reaction mixtures 12 .
- Each of the reaction mixtures 12 can further include one or more solvents, activators, and other additives needed for reaction.
- each of the reaction mixtures usually differ only in the catalyst used. Once the primary screen identifies a set of leads or promising catalysts, the reaction mixtures and conditions can be varied in a secondary screen to further characterize the promising members of the catalyst library.
- fluid samples from each of the reaction mixtures 12 are contacted with a sorbent in order to trap at least one component of the fluid samples, which is typically a desired reaction product.
- the trapped component or components are detected by the methods described earlier. These methods include, but are not limited to: direct absorption spectroscopy of the trapped component; staining the sorbent with an indicator reagent followed by fluorescence detection or colorimetric analysis; and removal of the component from the sorbent, followed by quantification using liquid chromatography, gas chromatography or mass spectroscopy.

- the present invention was used to study the catalytic formation of aniline.
- the reaction was carried out in a multi-well reactor of the type shown in FIG. 3.
- a catalyst comprising an oxide of nickel and zirconium along with forty microliters benzene and 10 mg of ammonium carbonate was charged to each of the wells. Ammonia and benzene were allowed to react at 300° C. for four hours.
- fluid samples from each of the reaction mixtures were contacted with a silica gel sorbent to trap aniline present in the reaction mixtures.
- the silica gel was supplied on a TLC plate.
- Two methods were used to contact the sorbent with fluid samples from each of the reaction mixtures.
- 2 microliter aliquots from each of the reaction mixtures were spotted on the TLC plate using a pipette.
- the TLC plate was placed on the surface of the multi-well reactor. The reactor block was maintained at a temperature of 45° C. for 15 minutes, which completely vaporized (evaporated) the reaction mixtures, and allowed vapor from each of the reaction mixtures to contact discrete areas of the silica gel layer.
- an indicator reagent fluorescamine (spiro[furan-2(3H), 1′(3′H′)-isobenzofuran]-3,3′-dione, 4-phenyl-(9CI) or 10-phenylspiro[2,3,3a,7a-tetrahydroindene-1,4′-cyclopentene]-10-ene) was used to detect aniline trapped on the silica gel layer.
- fluorescamine spiro[furan-2(3H), 1′(3′H′)-isobenzofuran]-3,3′-dione, 4-phenyl-(9CI) or 10-phenylspiro[2,3,3a,7a-tetrahydroindene-1,4′-cyclopentene]-10-ene
- a 150 ppm solution of fluorescamine dispersed in methylene chloride was sprayed on the TLC plates using a commercially-available TLC aerosol applicator. The reaction between aniline and flu
- the fluorescent product formed had a persistent fluorescence that was detected using long wavelength ultraviolet excitation energy (390 nm); the resulting fluorescence signal (490 nm) was passed through a blue-green filter and collected using a CCD camera.
- a photograph of the TLC plate spotted with 2 microliter aliquots of the reaction mixtures and stained with fluorescamine is shown in FIG. 7 .
- the fluorescent spots on the TLC plates were numerically integrated; a typical bar plot 280 of the integration data are shown in FIG. 8 .
- Integrated fluorescence intensity for aniline standards trapped on the TLC plate along with aniline from the reaction mixtures is shown in the back row 282 of FIG. 8 .
- the amount of aniline in the standards was apparently greater than the amount of aniline present in the reaction mixtures, normally the standards could be used to relate the fluorescence intensity to amount of aniline in the reaction mixtures.
- aniline standards were applied to a TLC plate and detected in a manner identical to the reaction mixtures. Integration of the fluorescence signal from the standards indicates that the method is capable of detecting on the order of 0.5 ng of aniline, and that the linear dynamic range for detection extends over three orders of magnitude. See FIG. 9 . Since fluorescamine is not fluorescent, it can be applied in large excess without interfering with the detection of aniline.
